A collection of quotes I've kept for a while now. I add new ones fairly regularly, generally once or twice every week. Topics will be anything I find interesting that day, from famous writers, online forums, and everyone in between. Mail me quotes you find interesting, or leave them in comments.

Before this post:
• Optimism
• Srsly
• GLaDOS
• Only human
• History, our story
• Casually
• Who?
• History of computing in one paragraph
• Achewood/Ray
• The Worst Lines of Verse

A tremendous debt is owed to the following:

All in this ... together.

Wally Greenslade: [...] Neddie Seagoon arrived at the port of Guatemala, where he was accorded the typical Latin welcome to an Englishman.
Moriarty: Hands up, you pig swine pbbt.
Seagoon: Have a care, Latin devil. I'm an Englishman. Remember, this rolled umbrella has more uses than one.
Moriarty: Oooh!
Seagoon: Sorry ...
Moriarty: Sapristi bombit.
Seagoon: Now, now what's all this about?
Moriarty: It is the revolution, Señor — everywhere there is an armed rising.
Seagoon: Are you in it?
Moriarty: Right in it — you see, you see Señor, the united anti-socialist neo-democratic pro-fascist communist party is fighting to overthrow the unilateral democratic united partisan bellicose pacifist cobelligerent Tory labour liberal party.
Seagoon: Whose side are you on?
Moriarty: (Grandly) There are no sides ... we are all in this ... together.

-- Harry Secombe and Spike Milligan, The Goon Show: The Affair of the Lone Banana (first broadcast: October 26, 1954)
